Feeling Pine This Holiday Season

We had an absolute blast kicking off our Christmastime trip with the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll! It was a wonderful activity to do as a family.

This activity is meant to be savored, so take your time with it!  We loved taking in the details and ornamentation of each tree and relating how it fit with the theme.  Disney is known for exquisite theming and attention to detail, and those qualities are showcased in each Christmas tree!

If you have the time, try to go back, and see each tree when it’s dark.  It’s a completely new experience!
